    @Anfmethodjor I don’t think he opted for de-pigmentation as you can clearly see very large patches of vitiligo if you know where to look for them. He used makeup to even out his skin tone. His vitiligo was very advanced, though.
    I think he probably wanted to give kids who wouldn’t have had a family a nice life. Same reason other people opt to adopt children instead of have their own. I think it’s commendable. :)

    @Anfmethodjor: Those kids are his biological kids. The first two were with a white mother, and the third child was with a latina mother. Overall, his autopsy states that he has vitiligo scars, which caused him to go for the De-pigmentation.

    @WhitneyGetz Why do you say I have issues with race?
    Also what does polygenic inheritance (and btw, I humbly thank you for the enlightening reference) have to do with MJ and his kids? It’s well know that he worked a surrogate deal with their biological mother, and that the biological father is a sperm donor. Unless MJ is impotent, it’s odd that he’d go to such great lengths. The woman relinquished all of her parental right to MJ, and got paid pretty well.

    That’s why I asked. I wasn’t accusing.

    @MrLilort My dr already diagnosed it as vitiligo but didnt have a whole lot of info on it as there isnt a dermatologist here in my province so I just accepted it as it is when he said its nothing to really worry about

    You have issues with race that have clouded your judment.

    “Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well. Drosophila, for instance, display polygeny with traits such as wing morphology, bristle count, and many others.”

Is there any health risks with this because if not Im not doing anything to it because its just skin tone IF I end up blotche like a holstein cow Ill just start tattooing over it Im accustomed to tattoos n know all the risks. Not into unknown side effects
